Bruny Island is a globally significant haven for birdlife, home to some of the world’s rarest birds – including the Forty-Spotted Pardalote, the Swift Parrot and the majestic Wedge-Tailed Eagle.
Bruny hosts wonderfully intact and diverse landscapes, including grasslands, grand forests, sub-alpine rainforests, coastal shrubs, rich and magical marine habitats and long wild stretches of coastline.
Bruny island’s varied coastline, rocky reefs and sandy gulches provide home and habitat to marine life as diverse as leatherjacket and flathead fishes, to Crayfish, Little Penguins and migratory whales.
The island’s human history extends back 40,000 years, with layers of continuous human connection with, love for and relationship to this land.
